Online auction and classifieds websites are popular place for buying and selling goods. Almost everything you could possibly think of is for sale, whether you want to sell or buy goods. Register yourself and then away you go. Prices can be much cheaper on auction and classifieds websites. These sites can often get "past history" of users to assess sincerity and trading of sellers and buyers. There is one disadvantage of action sites sometimes vendors may not be willing to bear transport charges. In some cases vendors registered with these sites aren't official sellers, so risk is higher.
